there will be definitely much more names on the bricks. it was the
original idea but i really had no time to add all the names i know. i'll
try to create a test version of the website on some free hosting on this
week or (most probably) on the next one. then it will be easier to talk
about further enhancements. i think everyone who likes the idea of names
could start his own list of them and when i'm done with the test version
it'd be nice if you post in all the names you have in your lists that
are not on the bricks.

thanks for the tools - anyway i'll add some meaningful images instead of
the envelopes so your list will be a good starting point.

best regards,
jay
